hey! how u doing? feeling prepared for this unit?


Not sitting it :P
Will be doing Chemistry Unit 5 next Wednesday though!
I came to wish you all good luck as Unit 4 is my favourite Unit, but I think I'm unpopular in this opinion :tongue:

Also did I need to remember persulfate ? :tongue:

A possibility :biggrin: But I thought maybe you could look in the data booklet, and I think you can look at the dissociation constants & compared.... that's if your really stuck :smile: I think it'll be obvious from there but I've never tried it.

& I'm not sure if your right :frown: Steamy fumes is for HCl... but I think NH4Cl is white "smoke"

And yes please :biggrin: I will be going to sleep by 12 though :smile: I am worrying too much... I hope I get sleep :tongue:

Explain to me in terms of kinetic/heat energy.... why exothermic reactions have positive entropy surroundings and also usually negative entropy of systems


oh yeah! u did stay excess ammonia! so yeah white smoke
no u dont have to remember about persulphate but there are others too even haber process and contact process are example of heterogenous catalyst :smile:

they give off heat so increase in kinetic energy of molecules in air increase in disorder not sure about the system :s-smilie:
how can u distinguish between CHO and RCOR? give both tests :tongue:

that's a relief !!! :smile:

Hehe, well if kinetic/heat energy being lost by the system then I'm sure molecules will behave themselves more and become more ordered :tongue:

Hmmmmm :smile: Aldehyde will give silver mirror with tollens reagant & Red precipitate with Fehlings :biggrin:

+ you can use brady's reagant

(before you say I'm wrong... you then filter off the precipitate add minimum hot ethanol then leave it recrystallize :smile: Then check melting temp)

Explain to me how Iodine clock works ! :smile:

Please tell me how is the ans C?
Its june 2011 q6 :hmpf:

lol finally u got the tests name right!
u mix the reactant and record time taken to make specific amount of product

why is acyl chloride more reactive than amide for addition elimination rxn?

lucky you! what did u get?


A middle B :P
Not really bothered, as I retook Unit 1 and have good A2 practicals.
Goodluck with this! Not sure that you'll need it though :P

methanoic acid methanol ester water
4 6 0 0
4-3=1 6-3=1 3 3
eqm conc is those moles divide by V which will cancel as there are equal moles at the top and at the bottom
so Kc= 3

lol I sure do! thanks a lot! Hopefully the paper is good
what grade do u need for chem?

We don't need to know which reagents you pit in... like peroxide KI starch..? :smile:

Erm I never knew amides underwent addition elimination :colondollar: & electroneg Cl- + oxygen are pulling electrons away from carbon.. this makes it very delta +. Also Cl- is a very good leaving group & The C-Cl bond is very weak :smile:

ketone + LiAlH4 ... describe the process :smile:

I got stuck on this tooo.... H2O is a product...

subtract 3 from the reactants & then use the formula (ignore dividing by volume)

lol hopefully we dont and yeah ur answer is right :smile:
dont think we need to know the process though

Love Unit 4!
You guys will be great :biggrin:


Thanks mollymod :biggrin: Hope unit 5 revision is going well! (and from what I've seen - your doing frickin' awesome :smile: )

There's so much we don't need to know lol :eek: (Damn george :mad: )

I have far less time this time for unit 5.... so I might abandon george and just use revision guides..

Well anyway I am off to get some sleep now :biggrin:

Good luck AS01 with your exam tomorrow... & speak to ya soon :smile: Thanks for all the questions also you've asked me (I have learnt a lot, imagine brady's came up tomorrow :biggrin: )

And good luck to everyone else too who reads this ! :smile: May speak to some of you tomorrow morning
